context_page_description: Ra'anana is a city in the heart of the southern Sharon Plain of the Central District of Israel. It was founded in 1922 as an American-Jewish settlement, and subsequently expanded over the ruins of the depopulated Palestinian village of Tabsur.
  Bordered by Kfar Saba on the east and Herzliya on the southwest, it had a population of 75,421 in 2019. While the majority of its residents are native-born Israelis, a large part of the population are immigrants from the Americas and Europe.
  Ra'anana's high tech industrial park is home to many leading global companies and local start up companies. It was designated a "Green City" award by the World Health Organization in 2005.
context_section_description: The park of Ra'anana is the largest urban park in the Sharon region. It offers walking and bike paths, sports fields, a zoo and children's petting corner and a lake in a clover shape reminiscent of Ra'anana's coat of arms. There are two fountains in the lake and pedestrians can cross over it on the bridge. The lake is surrounded by special gardens, including the Seven Species garden, and shaded walking paths. There is also a restaurant and small art gallery. The Founders Museum presents the story of Ra'anana's original settlers, from the arrival of the Ahuza Alef-New York Association until Ra'anana achieved local council status in 1936.
  Ra'anana Park Amphitheatre has been the venue for musical acts such as Backstreet Boys, Evanescence, Alice Cooper, Lauryn Hill, Tori Amos, Chick Corea, Ian Anderson, Ziggy Marley, The Cranberries, The Stranglers, Seal, Brian Wilson, Regina Spektor, Blondie and Pet Shop Boys.
